Show the curved-arrow mechanism for the first step, and the structure of the cyclic intermediate formed, when cyclopentene in treated with kmno4. a lewis structure for the permanganate ion is provided below in the hint. make sure to show all non-bonding electron pairs and formal charges where necessary. omit k .

The final product of the reaction is cis diols.

Explanation:

Alkenes react with to form cis diols . Th mechanism of the reaction undergoes via formation of manganate ester.

Cyclopentene treated with potassium permanganate to form cis diols through the cyclic intermediate.This cyclic intermediate has manganate ion by the removal of water molecule from this intermediate to form cis diols.

The complete chemical reaction is as follows.
